Asia-Pacific leading in cyber-security

AUSTRALIA is taking a lead in global network security with advisers from 12 nations attending multilateral talks, hosted by AusCERT, on protecting critical information infrastructure.

The informal talks, held on Friday after four days of business, technical and policy discussions at AusCERT 2004, are believed to have laid the groundwork for increasing inter-government co-operation.
Participants included high-level IT advisers from the US, Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Canada and New Zealand.
